noun

The film of ink may be covered with a long cover-glass and xylol balsam as a permanent preparation.

Place a large drop of xylol balsam on the section and carefully lower a cover-glass on to the balsam.

Treat with a mixture of equal parts of aniline oil and xylol until no more colour comes away.

Wash with ammonia-free distilled water, dry thoroughly and mount in xylol balsam.

Xylol, used pure, or with the addition of five per cent of vaseline, is also very efficacious.
